Wouldnt a deck of cards be cheaper? easier? safer? I'm thinking things could get out of control.

As the river card is flipped Johnny realizes he has a straight flush. He patiently waits and only raising just enough to entice the other guy to stay in. The guy takes the bait and as he casts his bid into the pot he says "I call". Johnny with his $h1t eating grin, slams down his phone and declares "Straight flush! ha-HA!" The guy looks at him incredulously and says..." WTF?! You just slammed your phone onto the Sony table top!" Johnny realizing the horror of his mistake looks down to see the broken glass of the table top PC! Then he stares in disgust at the bright green lines running accross his own phones screen rendering his cards illegible. The guy looks at Johnny and says "Well I guess you lose. I have 3J, A kicker. You don't have a damn thing, and you owe me for breaking my table top" Johnny looks at him blankley " I was all in. That was all I had". The guy tells him "Well if you can't pay, then you have to pay" He whistle for his henchman to collect payment from Johnny. Johnny was never heard from again.

See? All of this could have been avoided if they had just used playing cards!
